Missionary Packages

I have a nephew who just left on a mission for my church. He spent July 4th in a missionary training center and they probably didn't really celebrate so I sent him a fun patriotic care package.

After the training he headed to Boise, Idaho where he'll teach people about our church for two years. When missionaries are new to the mission they call them "Greenies" so I send him a green package when he arrived in Idaho. I can't just send a plain box to I wrote "greenie" all over the outside of his with different green permanent markers.

I'm here from Pinterest. I love these. I'm definitely sending the greenie one to my son who just entered the MTC a week ago today. BTW, I'm live in the Boise mission field. We know a lot of the missionaries and are in Caldwell. I wonder if we know your nephew.

These are some good tips and ideas! My son is going to be leaving on a mission soon and I'm already thinking of things I can send him across the country. You can bet I'll be sending him many boxes while he is out in the field. Hopefully I don't embarrass him too much! Thanks again.
